As experts, we will handle your needs from the beginning stages with helping to find financing to the final stage of giving you the keys to your new home with the high quality expertise that your home deserves. We offer competitive prices and with new construction prices climbing, we start out at $180.-200 per square foot. Our customer satisfaction is our number one priority. Call us now!

"We had an unfortunate and bad experience with this builder, who after 11 months from signing the contract, could not pour a foundation. This inability to get things off the ground stems from their lack of foresight and planning. They are very disorganized and do not communicate well. they are so disorganized that I am not sure how their business has survived! They over-promise and cannot deliver, a theme I read in other reviews. When we got out of contract (and I wish we had done it sooner), I ended up paying them 40% as their fees (over the very little that had been done). Do you homework; we did ours, and noticed a few red flags at the beginning, but we still went with them against our best judgement. This ended up costing quite a bit, in time, money and headache."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

Modular homes are more affordable than stick-built homes if you keep quality and square footage equal. The cost to build a home averages $323,000, while average modular home prices sit at {AvgCost}. If you’re looking for custom or luxury options, a traditional custom home costs $825,000, while a high-end modular home costs $600,000, on average.

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.

Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as Italianate architecture—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.
